RULES & GUIDELINES FOR JANE STICKLE BLOCKS
I} This is an open ended challenge to anyone & you can join in at any time. To learn new skills and techniques and offering encouragement for making small blocks, you keep your own blocks!
II} The block size will be small 4”- 5” blocks from your choice of patterns {you provide your own}. I have chosen to make the Jane Stickle {225} patterns but you are welcome to join in and make patterns of your own choosing; the idea is to get comfortable making the smaller blocks and above all have loads of fun!
III} You can purchase fabric or use fabrics from your own stash.
The book recommends: 5 yards background fabric with a total of 8 yards for the entire quilt.
IV} The challenge is to make 4 blocks a month and post them in the album by the end of the month. However you are welcome to work at your own pace and make more than the 4 a month. These blocks may be hand or machine stitched your choice.
V} We will start at the beginning of the JS book and move forward. You may opt to skip a block, depending on the skill level.
*Life happens and if you can’t met the months challenge then just let me or the group hear from you.
VI} We will be making our own individual albums to post our blocks. Pictures must be 50KB or smaller. Need help with creating an album? I am willing to help you with that.
*Give the pattern owner credit for your patterns on your album page by posting the book title or website as a courtesy to them …just a suggestion.
